Improvised and Otherwise: A Festival of Sound and Form is an annual event established to encourage and support the momentum of experimental composers and performers. In an effort to represent a diverse group of artists, Improvised and Otherwise strives to cross generational and geographic boundaries. The driving force behind this event is to foster a new opportunity for a broad range of media and performance aesthetics. The 2005 Festival will feature eighteen performing groups with a total of over fifty participants; artists will be joining the program from throughout the United States and Europe.
